Storyline:  Coming off his Oscar-nomination for The Brutalist, Guy Pearce brings a weary potency to the character of Warren Murfett, a long-incarcerated prisoner who reluctantly takes on the task of mentoring taciturn Mel Blight (an impressive 17-year-old Vincent Miller). And what could have been a straight-forward prison tale instead ferments into an almost operatic thriller hurtling towards an apocalyptic conclusion when in-for-life Mark Shephard (Cosmo Jarvis counterpointing Pearce’s performance with insane bravura) takes an interest in the kid as well.
